Thanks for the heads up. Barry Delve is quite knowledgeable about ELO and a stand-up guy.

Thanks for the heads up. Barry Delve is quite knowledgeable about ELO and a stand-up guy. He's a real author? That's a relief - for a minute I thought it was our tremblinwilbury, (sometimes known to me as "Beryl"), writing under an assumed name. "Barry Delve" - an anagram of "Beryl raved". Plainly a "secret message"

Once you finish writing a book, you're a "real" author. Or once you've been published anyway. Anybody have any experience of this On Track series? Often these things appeal only to the hardcore fan whilst at the same time being too lightweight for that audience. That was certainly my experience with the previous song by song book that came out.

It's very exciting to see an ELO book - these are very rare! There's more books than a normal shelf can bear featuring the Beatles but very little to place on the Jeff Lynne shelf.
Like Southernman I'm concerned about the depth of the book - will it appeal mostly to hardcore fans or is it just a lightweight casual "Mr Blue Sky is my favourite song" type of book?
If there's any mistakes in facts I'm sure we'll be the ones to notice! I hope it's a book that's not just full of dry facts. That's why we have google.

Noticed this Bev Bevan ELO story for sale today. I don’t remember getting a free single with my copy..... Might be worth a bid for any forum members that don’t have a copy and it’s still sealed. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255059291567

I never knew that either, I've sent the seller a message asking what the single is. Does anyone on here know?
